24. IN A POWER CYCLE THE PROCESS COMPRISING THE FOLLOWING STEPS: PUMPING LIQUID WATER TO A HIGH PRESSURE, ADDING A FIRST PORTION OF HEAT TO SAID WATER INDIRECTLY ACROSS HEAT TRANSFER SURFACE, ADDING A SECOND PORTION OF HEAT DIRECTLY IN FORM OF PRODUCTS FROM THE COMBUSTION OF A RICH FUEL GAS WITH SUBSTANTIALLY PURE OXYGEN, EXPANDING THE RESULTING HOT GASES THROUGH A SERIES OF POWERDEVELOPING EXPANSION TURBINE STAGES, AND CONDENSING WATER FROM SAID GASES; PRODUCING SAID RICH FUEL GAS FROM A SULFUROUS FUEL BY ADDING SAID SULFUROUS FUEL TO A FLUIDIZED BED AT A HIGH PRESSURE, SAID FLUIDIZED BED COMPRISING A SOLID CONTAINING INTERMINGLED MICROSCOPIC CRYSTALLITES OF FIGA-02 CALCIUM AND MAGNESIUM OXIDES; FLUIDIZING SAID FLUIDIZED BED WITH OXYGEN AND STEAM, THEREBY GASIFYING SAID SULFUROUS FUEL TO PRODUCE SAID RICH FUEL GAS.
